Nova reports that the talks are ongoing.

Two teenagers are fortunate that they came through a rollover crash with no serious injuries.

The crash happened a little before 9 o’clock Tuesday night on County Road 97 near Township Road 131, just southeast of McComb.

The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office says a 17-year-old girl swerved to miss a deer and drove off the side of the road, hit a ditch and rolled into a field.

Front airbags deployed during the crash.

The sheriff’s office says the driver, and a 16-year-old girl who was a passenger, were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The fall is when deer are the most active, and officials urge drivers to fight the temptation to swerve if you see a deer in the road.

A new bill introduced at the Ohio Statehouse would crack down harder on drivers who put children in danger by disregarding school bus laws.

State Senator Theresa Gavarone says Ohio laws need to be tougher on those who commit such offenses.

“I was shocked to find out when I spoke with bus drivers and law enforcement that bus drivers are seeing it every single day, and sometimes more than once a day.”

Under her bill, fines for passing a school bus illegally would increase, and hitting or killing a child in the process will send people to prison for a longer sentence.

School buses would also be armed with license plate reading cameras.

The bill would set aside $500,000 for districts that want a camera.

Before the new school year began the Findlay Police Department offered a refresher course on school bus laws.

An inmate walked away from his work release in Putnam County.

The sheriff’s office says on Tuesday night 48-year-old David J. Cole failed to report back to the Putnam County Adult Detention Facility from his court-ordered work release at Raw Steel in Leipsic.

Authorities are asking anyone who sees Cole to not approach him, and to give the sheriff’s office a call at 419-523-3208.

Cole was last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

He’s six feet one inches tall and weighs around 180 pounds.

As autumn approaches, officials are reminding drivers that this is when there’s always a big jump in the number of crashes involving deer.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says more than half of the deer-related crashes in any given year occur in October, November and December.

Officials warn drivers that the highest-risk periods are the dusk and dawn hours.

If you see one deer, more will likely follow, so proceed with caution.

Use high-beams when possible.

Always your wear seat-belt.

And possibly most importantly, do not swerve to miss a deer. Doing so could lead to a much worse crash.

If a collision with a deer appears imminent, press the brakes and strike it while maintaining control of your vehicle in your lane.

Farmers Insurance ranks Ohio as the 9th worst state for deer-vehicle crashes.

Fall is the worst time of the year for deer-vehicle crashes because October to December is breeding season and hunting season in the fall also spooks deer.

A police chase started in our neck of the woods, but ended a long way away.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol in Wyandot County tried to pull over a man driving a semi-truck cab on Monday afternoon but the man refused to stop.

The pursuit went through several counties including Wyandot, Delaware, Franklin, Licking, and Coshocton, at times reaching speeds close to 90-miles-an-hour.

In Licking County the chase led to a crash in which one person was seriously injured.

The pursuit ended in Coshocton when the suspect, Stephen Wolfe, stopped the semi and fled on foot.

Cochocton schools were placed on lockdown for a few minutes as police searched for the man.

Authorities say Wolfe, 47, was soon located and placed under arrest.
